David Bowie/Morrissey: London, Wembley Arena

Sylvie Simmons,
MOJO,
1995

Seventies icon Bowie and 80s icon Morrissey met on Bowies Sound And Vision tour, they expressed mutual fandom. And here they are playing together  or not together, not in the way Bowie recently played with Nine Inch Nails in the States, but on the same bill, with Morrissey in the role of underdog. Not one he wears well. "Good evening," he snarls at 7.30, a good portion of Bowies crowd still held up in rush hour. "Were your support group."
